I want to have sound when logged in as root. I don't care if it's a good
idea or not.
And I don't care if it's pulseaudio or alsa, or whatever.
I've tried pulseaudio -D, but the volume control never can connect to
the daemon. It just spams syslog with:
pulseaudio[6288]: Denied access to client with invalid authentication data.
I've added system-instance = yes to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf.
I've read
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Sy...
.
I've set up the users and groups as described.
.esd_auth exists in /var/run/puls
Does anyone have audio working as root?

I just tried a little experiment. In my Mate session, I opened a
terminal window, became root, and played an mp3 file using mplayer.
Then I hit Ctl-Alt-F2 to exit to a console, logged in as root, and
tried to play the same file using mplayer. No go.Pulse audio unable to
connect. Same results logging in at the console as myself, becoming
root, and trying to play the file. However, logged in as myself at the
console, I the file did play.

Well, if nothing else it would be kind of cool to be able to say that
nobody's logged in.
Getting more or less back to the topic, does anybody know if it's
possible to have a script (run by at) play a sound when there isn't
anybody logged in? I'm working on a script that will play an alarm even
if the computer's rebooted itself and I haven't logged in as yet. (My
desktop is in my bedroom and I sometimes use it as an alarm clock.
Alas, if my hardware issue causes it to reboot at night the alarm
doesn't sound. The script runs, but there's no sound.)

I am assuming that you mean that you are logging into your window
manager as root. But just to cover the other option...
I logged am logged into Xfce4 as my regular user and working in an
xfce4-termnal window. I can:
sudo tcsh
#mpg123 laser.mp3
#aplay dot_matrix_printer.wav
Both work fine. So, for me "using sound as root" is working.
I don't feel that Xfce or other windowing systems have ever been
designed to work with a root login. Yes, I know that people do it, but
to me it is sort of like asking "why can't I login as ~nobody if I want
to?". It is just *not* setup for it.
